You mean the clouds and maps??

[Mr_sukebe]

Hopefully next week we'll get another update on Syria, The P47, clouds, Falklands, F4 etc. Can't say I'm expecting any of them pre-Xmas, but you never know.

[Silver_Dragon]

No, only think we have near of end of year.

[Silver_Dragon]

F4 etc.

 

By Wags, dont expected them on some years....

Well... I don't know if it is a good or bad thing if its mentioned in the New year newsletter. Might be another couple of years until release. ;)

 

From three years ago:

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/newsletters/newsletter29012016.html

 

"We see 2016 as a big year for aircraft carrier operations as we plan to release both Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier modules. Both of these modules will be incredibly detailed models with working elevators, interior hanger bays, animated ship systems, and the ability to walk around inside the ships. These will be optional modules that would replace the existing ships currently in DCS World."

 

Me like most players are eagerly awaiting some updates on the Kuznetsov. I heard something about the new Nimiz Carrer almost being finished, so maybe after that one?

[Silver_Dragon]

In the AMA interview, Wags talk DDG 51, and Kutnesov coming after "SuperCarrier". Only a supossision.... I think Supercarrier has the first stub of naval modules, and can be open "new worlds".

Will we get some new features for Hornet soon?

[Eaglewings]

Will we get some new features for Hornet soon?

Gathering from repeated official information post from ED, the Hornet would receive dedicated work in the month of December. Whether this features would come in same December is subject to debate but ED has made it clear that TWS radar mode and other features would come to the Hornet.

Hey guys, I’m afraid to even ask this question, but here it comes. Is there any place I can go to subscribe to the Newsletter, or just to read it? I have looked all over this place, but I haven’t found it!

 

Thanks in advance,

If you are on discord you can somehow sign up for ED updates, not sure I did it but the moment they are out I have em. Its probably the best thing I've ever used discord for.

It's Monday and magically, a newsletter posted at 1002ZTOD on Friday appeared. I wasn't able to see this the whole weekend even with hitting Ctrl+MiG28... just weird

 

Thought it'd contain something JF-17 related... but no

Give us more details, please

 

:D

There is so much going on actually, I think everyone should be pleased, the fact that things are happening even if you don't hear about it is making me calm, and thing will be great for the next 5 years however I think that later on it'll really be key milestone and that is the fact that there's other tech that graphically may outpace DCS yet again by a lot, the competitiveness will get bigger, as the big engine houses of the software world will become bigger and bigger and more complicated, UE4 still isn't that keen for huge open-world sets but still the biggest thing would be whether DCS retains it's own in-house engine, and I'm all for it, but it would probably need that another develpment office opened, perhaps even in UK or US, or hiring some contractors to give the whole program a refresh, perhaps new eyes to go through it and see what, I still think sometimes some keys don't register on first hit, that could be some thing with the input stuff perhaps bottlenecked in a way, perhaps putting input on it's own thread may help, USB/controller stuff that could be improved internally so that controls are as low latency and as stable as possible.

 

The core upgrades are indeed happening in many way, but there's some other parts of the whole package I still feel they need an overall touchup, the alt-tab or minimize to taskbar still isn't working right completely, it switches to conditionally-always-on-top maximized windowed mode. Conditionally because it's a bit weird, you can put in-focus windows on top of it, but as you click some other taskbar area or neutral areas including deselect, DCS will spring in front so it's quite sticky.

 

I could go on a bit but it would be more suitable for a wishlist thread.

I'm wondering about the new TM stick. Isn't the A-10C's basically the same as the F-16C's?

I thought the same at first glance. :)

[Eagle7907]

I’m not familiar with the Cougar Hotas, but I think this is targeted for those who still have them? They don’t want the TM Warthog, but just want the newer base? I’m just speculating.

They're the same to me. They should've made a better Cougar throttle instead.

Surrrrrre looks that way. Assume the position, everyone

Yes, the new part is you can buy it without the base now, if you already own a Warthog stick, then it's not for you probably. They aligned this announcement with the DCS Viper in order to highlight its release, not an attempt to money grab or trick anyone.
